asset¶
Basic Asset ViewHelper¶
Places the contents of the asset (the tag body) directly in the additional header content of the page. This most basic possible version of an Asset has only the core features shared by every Asset type:
a “name” attribute which is required, identifying the Asset by a lowerCamelCase or lowercase_underscored value, your preference (but lowerCamelCase recommended for consistency).
a “dependencies” attribute with a CSV list of other named Assets upon which the current Asset depends. When used, this Asset will be included after every asset listed as dependency.
a “group” attribute which is optional and is used ty further identify the Asset as belonging to a particular group which can be suppressed or manipulated through TypoScript. For example, the default value is “fluid” and if TypoScript is used to exclude the group “fluid” then any Asset in that group will simply not be loaded.
an “overwrite” attribute which if enabled causes any existing asset with the same name to be overwritten with the current Asset instead. If rendered in a loop only the last instance is actually used (this allows Assets in Partials which are rendered in an f:for loop).
a “debug” property which enables output of the information used by the current Asset, with an option to force debug mode through TypoScript.
additional properties which affect how the Asset is processed. For a full list see the argument descriptions; the same settings can be applied through TypoScript per-Asset, globally or per-Asset-group.
Note: there are no static TypoScript templates for VHS but you will find a complete list in the README.md file in the root of the extension folder.
